Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I attended Dartington College of Arts and met the composer James Tenney [obituary by Keith Potter, 21 October] on a number of occasions when he was a visiting lecturer there between 1997 and 2000, writes David Llewellyn.
He was very good company, insisting on joining us youngsters in the student bar, rather than "hanging out", as it were, in the more sedate surroundings of Dartington Hall's White Hart Inn. For a man of 63 (I was shocked to find out his age!) he was also a very good dancer - and, it turned out, a big fan of James Brown.
